Does Anyone Know Visual Basic?

[MicrotechXP]

If you do vote in the poll!

Sadly I don't know it.

 

[Brandon]

I don't, but I want to learn it:biggrin:

 

[noerrorsfound]

Nope, and it's not worth learning.

 

[Chris Z]

where's the sorta? lol, i was learning it a few years ago, but i quickly became bored with it. I didn't have any ideas..

 

[Cubeform]

I don't know Visual Basic or its spinoff, Visual Basic.NET.

Visual Basic 6.0 is not really worth learning anymore. If you want to build a .NET application, you're better off with C#.

 

[nol888]

I do. Is that a good or bad thing? I'm alone!

Is C# like C/C++?

Yes, but it's not as good because it only runs on Windows. I guess if you are a jerk and have no intention of porting your programs then it's okay for you to use it.

Please don't call people "jerks".

It wasn't directed at nol888. I was using "you" to refer to people in general. Please don't tell me what to do.

I found this funny in your post:

Look I was giving you a verbal warning not to directly do anything that seems wrong on these forums; i didnt give you an actual warning this time but next time one might be in order.

If you read the rules of the forum when you signed up you would have read this

» You may not post anything purposely designed to intimidate or insult a particular forum member. If you must, criticise constructively.

I thought you were insulting nol888 threw what I read through your post; so I was acting accordingly.

Also there was this

» Do not post comments designed to provoke other members into flaming.

I was trying to prevent any actions taken by nol888; if he/she read the post AS me, it sounds like a direct corilaction to him/her!

The people at Novell have something to say to you:
http://www.mono-project.com/

Mono provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix.

I already know about Mono, but it is not a perfect solution. The FAQ says:
"Mono API coverage is limited to the .NET 1.1 API at this point, with spotty support for 2.0, for more details see our Roadmap"
The latest version of .NET is 3.0, and I assume since they don't have 2.0 working completely yet then they probably don't have 3.0 working.

Most of the applications requiring the .NET Framework that I've ever used needed 2.0, and now since we have 3.0 then people are going to start using that. .NET 1.1 is from 2003 and most people seem to have moved on, so good luck getting any modern programs to run.

Visual Basic is a really the best program. Lol. I am pretty good with it..i can make login forums, text loggers. ect.ect.. just random things. lol Now i am starting to learn Perl, its pretty cool also.

 

[swirly]

Well I use liberty basic, but I havent found a C editor to use so I can't learn it...any one know where to find it?

 

[Zenax]

I can code in visual basic, I aint perfect, but I know a fair bit

too be honest, I don't mind knowing vb, the more languages you know the better in terms of job finding!

Companies are always looking for people who know how to code in different languages, so I assume that vb is a useful one to have, as it has not complely died out yet!!

they will have a few!

I know CLI based BASIC (good old Liberty Basic - oh how I loved that) and a bit of CLI based C++ (using Borland C++ compiler - not as nice as BASIC). I gave up on C++ though cause I became more interested in web development.

 

[SEÑOR]

I dont know it, but I know people on a forum called martin2k.co.uk/forums, which is a forum for VB. They are very helpful there.

 

[Micro]

Hmm. Yeh. You can download the Express edition of Visual C++ .Net (It can do standard C++ too, without the .net runtimes). I use it to compile mods for Half-Life 2 Deathmatch (Which are written in C++).

They also do a VB.NET, C#.NET, J#.NET and Visual web Developer Express.

Visual Studio is the best to use as it features most of the major programming languages.

I know a tiny bit of Visual Basic, not as much as I know of html or php though!
